A totally new gardener! Hello!

Post: # 157595Post Poly »

Hello!

This is my first time ever at attempting to grow anything really!!

I have for the first time renting a home with a garden so i *knew* soon as i got the keys that i would be attempting to grow some of my own food.

here are some pictures.

Got the tunnel at the end of may so am playing catch up really :) if i get anything at all i'll be sooo happy :D if i get loads well then more the merrier!

not really sure what i am doing so feel free to point out nay mistakes from looking at the pictures!!

Nice to meet you all!!

I am and it worked this time, must've been a glitch. The photos look good Fiona! :cheers: I've never thought of growing melons upwards, maybe I should! I do with cucumbers.

the plan is (if i get any fruit) to pop it in a pair of tights and hang it from the arch of the tunnel so it can grow and the weight be supported...

ill let you know how that works!!!

thanks for all the welcomes :D

i truely am loving this gardening - i'm so impatient though i want to eat it now!!

Yes let me know - plenty of old tights here as I never wear skirts any more - they don't really go with my mucking out duck shed type lifestyle! :lol:
